Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a semiconductor device constituted by electrically connecting electronic components and passive components through bonding wires. The invention also pertains to a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.
- capacitors are connected between a power supply circuit and a ground circuit in order to suppress a power supply bounce or GND (ground) bounce caused by simultaneous switching of circuits within the semiconductor chip. As a result, stable feeding can be performed.
- Such capacitors are referred to as a bypass capacitor.
- inductors are also connected in series with the power supply line. Such inductors are referred to as a power supply filter.
- bypass capacitors or the power supply filters can be disposed closer to the circuits within the semiconductor chips, so that operations of the semiconductor chips can be stabled and as a result, electrical characteristics can be improved. Further, passive elements such as bypass capacitors or power supply filters need not be separately mounted on a system board for mounting thereon a semiconductor device, so that the number of components on the system board can be reduced and as a result, miniaturization of this system can be attained.
- the passive components in the form of chip components, there can be used, for example, common chip components such as chip capacitors or chip inductors of which the outside dimension is standardized, which are referred to as so-called 1005 components, 0603 components or 0402 components. Therefore, semiconductor devices can be manufactured at low cost.
- the 1005 components have an outside dimension of 1.0 mm ⁇ 0.5 mm ⁇ 0.5 mm
- the 0603 components have an outside dimension of 0.6 mm ⁇ 0.3 mm ⁇ 0.3 mm
- the 0402 components have an outside dimension of 0.4 mm ⁇ 0.2 mm ⁇ 0.2 mm.
- Any component has a shape that electrode terminals are provided on each end in the longitudinal direction.
- a semiconductor device When using this method, an area of a conductive pattern part can be reduced and therefore, a semiconductor device can be miniaturized. Further, a semiconductor chip and a passive component are interconnected using bonding wires without through conductive patterns and therefore, operations of the semiconductor device can be more stabilized, so that electrical characteristics can be improved.
- Such passive components in the form of chip components are generally mounted on an inner lead part of a lead frame or a conductive pattern part such as an electrode pad of a wiring substrate using solder or a conductive adhesive in many cases.
- a conductive pattern having an area in view of region where solder or a conductive adhesive is wetted and spread is required.
- a bonding region for connecting between the conductive pattern and the semiconductor chip by bonding wires is required.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Hei 8-162607 discloses the following configuration. That is, on a die pad of a lead frame, a semiconductor chip and a capacitor are mounted and fixed closely to each other. Further, interconnection among the semiconductor chip, the capacitor and the lead frame is performed by wires. Then, the whole device is sealed with mold resins. In this publication, a method for fixing the semiconductor chip and the capacitor is not described in detail.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-47811 discloses the following configuration. That is, on a die pad (stage) of a lead frame, a semiconductor chip and a passive component are mounted side by side. Further, the semiconductor chip and the passive component are connected through bonding wires. On a portion for mounting the passive component in the die pad, a concave part is formed by etching to allow the whole passive component to be mounted within this concave part through an insulating tape.
- the passive component is mounted through the insulating tape. Therefore, electrode terminals provided on each end of the passive component are prevented from coming in contact with the die pad. Further, the passive component is disposed closer to circuits within the semiconductor chip. As a result, electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device can be improved as well as operations thereof can be stabilized. Further, on the die pad, the concave part is formed and the passive component is mounted to fit within the concave part, and therefore, the mounted height of the passive component can be reduced.
- a method of using an insulating paste adhesive in place of the insulating tape is also considered; however, this method has a high possibility of causing the following problems in producing semiconductor devices.
- the passive component when a load imposed on the passive component excessively decreases, the passive component may be obliquely mounted on the die pad.
- a wire edge When performing wire bonding to electrode terminals of the passive component in this state, a wire edge may fail to be surely connected to the electrode terminal.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.
- a semiconductor device sealed with an electrical insulation sealant comprises: a passive component having a columnar body part with insulation and a pair of electrode terminals provided on each axial end of the body part, a semiconductor element connected to at least one of the electrode terminals through a bonding wire, and a base substrate having a portion formed to have no contact with the electrode terminals, wherein each of the passive component and the semiconductor element is mounted through an adhesive layer and the body part is supported to be nearly parallel to a substrate surface.
- a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device constituted by connecting through wire bonding a semiconductor element and a passive component having a columnar body part and a pair of electrode terminals provided on each axial end of the body part.
- This method comprises the steps of: forming a concave part on a base material to obtain a base substrate, supplying an adhesive member to the concave part, providing the passive component such that the body part is located on the base substrate through the adhesive member and each of the electrode terminals is located on a portion corresponding to the concave part through the adhesive member, applying a predetermined pressure on the passive component to temporarily adhere the passive component and the base substrate, and curing the adhesive member to finally adhere the passive component and the base substrate.

Abstract
Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefits of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-015610, filed on Jan. 24, 2006, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a semiconductor device constituted by electrically connecting electronic components and passive components through bonding wires. The invention also pertains to a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In a semiconductor chip (semiconductor element) such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration), for example, capacitors are connected between a power supply circuit and a ground circuit in order to suppress a power supply bounce or GND (ground) bounce caused by simultaneous switching of circuits within the semiconductor chip. As a result, stable feeding can be performed. Such capacitors are referred to as a bypass capacitor.
- Further, in order to cut high frequency noises entering through a power supply line, inductors are also connected in series with the power supply line. Such inductors are referred to as a power supply filter.
- When thus housing passive elements such as bypass capacitors or power supply filters in a semiconductor device having mounted thereon semiconductor chips and connecting the elements to semiconductor chips, the following advantages can be obtained. That is, the bypass capacitors or the power supply filters can be disposed closer to the circuits within the semiconductor chips, so that operations of the semiconductor chips can be stabled and as a result, electrical characteristics can be improved. Further, passive elements such as bypass capacitors or power supply filters need not be separately mounted on a system board for mounting thereon a semiconductor device, so that the number of components on the system board can be reduced and as a result, miniaturization of this system can be attained.
- In such a semiconductor device, there is known a configuration such that using, as a passive element to be built into the device, a passive component in the form of chip component, connection between the semiconductor chip and the passive component is performed by bonding wires.
- By using the passive components in the form of chip components, there can be used, for example, common chip components such as chip capacitors or chip inductors of which the outside dimension is standardized, which are referred to as so-called 1005 components, 0603 components or 0402 components. Therefore, semiconductor devices can be manufactured at low cost. The 1005 components have an outside dimension of 1.0 mm×0.5 mm×0.5 mm, the 0603 components have an outside dimension of 0.6 mm×0.3 mm×0.3 mm, and the 0402 components have an outside dimension of 0.4 mm×0.2 mm×0.2 mm. Any component has a shape that electrode terminals are provided on each end in the longitudinal direction.
- Herein, there is known a method for interconnecting a passive component and a semiconductor chip using bonding wires (see, e.g., Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Hei 8-162607 (FIG. 2), Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-47811 (
p 18, FIGS. 6 and 7)). - When using this method, an area of a conductive pattern part can be reduced and therefore, a semiconductor device can be miniaturized. Further, a semiconductor chip and a passive component are interconnected using bonding wires without through conductive patterns and therefore, operations of the semiconductor device can be more stabilized, so that electrical characteristics can be improved.
- Such passive components in the form of chip components are generally mounted on an inner lead part of a lead frame or a conductive pattern part such as an electrode pad of a wiring substrate using solder or a conductive adhesive in many cases. In this case, a conductive pattern having an area in view of region where solder or a conductive adhesive is wetted and spread is required. Further, a bonding region for connecting between the conductive pattern and the semiconductor chip by bonding wires is required.
- Herein, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Hei 8-162607 (FIG. 2) discloses the following configuration. That is, on a die pad of a lead frame, a semiconductor chip and a capacitor are mounted and fixed closely to each other. Further, interconnection among the semiconductor chip, the capacitor and the lead frame is performed by wires. Then, the whole device is sealed with mold resins. In this publication, a method for fixing the semiconductor chip and the capacitor is not described in detail.
- On the other hand, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-47811 (
p 18, FIGS. 6 and 7) discloses the following configuration. That is, on a die pad (stage) of a lead frame, a semiconductor chip and a passive component are mounted side by side. Further, the semiconductor chip and the passive component are connected through bonding wires. On a portion for mounting the passive component in the die pad, a concave part is formed by etching to allow the whole passive component to be mounted within this concave part through an insulating tape. - By taking such a configuration, the passive component is mounted through the insulating tape. Therefore, electrode terminals provided on each end of the passive component are prevented from coming in contact with the die pad. Further, the passive component is disposed closer to circuits within the semiconductor chip. As a result, electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device can be improved as well as operations thereof can be stabilized. Further, on the die pad, the concave part is formed and the passive component is mounted to fit within the concave part, and therefore, the mounted height of the passive component can be reduced.
- However, in these preceding examples, when mounting and fixing the passive component on the die pad, an insulating tape is used as an adhesive material. At this time, a step of preparing a tape processed to a predetermined size and adhering the tape to the concave part is required and therefore, a process is complicated.
- A method of using an insulating paste adhesive in place of the insulating tape is also considered; however, this method has a high possibility of causing the following problems in producing semiconductor devices.
- (1) In mounting a passive component on an insulating paste adhesive which is coated and supplied on a die pad using a dispenser, when a load imposed on such a passive component excessively increases, electrode terminals of the passive component and the die pad may be brought into contact with each other to cause a short circuit.
- (2) On the contrary, when a load imposed on the passive component excessively decreases, the passive component may be obliquely mounted on the die pad. When performing wire bonding to electrode terminals of the passive component in this state, a wire edge may fail to be surely connected to the electrode terminal.
- In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device capable of preventing contact between electrode terminals and a die pad as well as capable of surely performing wire bonding to the electrode terminals.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.
- To accomplish the above objects, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor device sealed with an electrical insulation sealant.

FIG. 9A , the adhesive 32 is ejected from anozzle 200 into a portion for disposing thesemiconductor element 11 in thedie pad 21. - Next, as shown in
FIG. 9B , thedie pad 21 and thesemiconductor element 11 are connected (fixed) through the adhesive 32. - Next, as shown in
FIG. 9C , the adhesive 33 is ejected from thenozzle 210 to the 27, 27 and theconcave parts high position part 28. - Next, as shown in FIGS. 9D and 9D1, the
passive component 15 is disposed such that theelement part 17 is located on thehigh position part 28 and the 16, 16 are respectively located on theelectrode terminals 27, 27. Then, theconcave components passive component 15 and thedie pad 21 are temporarily adhered through anuncured adhesive 33. At this time, a predetermined pressure is applied on thepassive component 15 in a direction indicated by arrows in the figures and thereby, thepassive component 15 is stabilized. Herein, the pressure applied on thepassive component 15 is appropriately adjusted in response to the viscosity of the adhesive 33. The pressure is, for example, about 0.5 to 4 N. - Next, as shown in
FIG. 10E , the adhesive 33 is cured by being heated at a predetermined temperature and thereby, thepassive component 15 is fixed on thedie pad 21 through the adhesive 33. - Next, as shown in
FIG. 10F , thesemiconductor element 11 and each of the 16, 16 are connected using theelectrode terminals wire 18. - Next, as shown in

Therefore, wire bonding to thepassive component 15 can be easily and surely performed. Further, in mounting thepassive component 15 on theuncured adhesive 33 applied on thedie pad 21, even if a load imposed on thepassive component 15 excessively increases, theelectrode terminal 16 can be prevented from coming in contact with thedie pad 21 because a predetermined space is formed between theelectrode terminal 16 and thedie pad 21. As a result, a short circuit between theelectrode terminal 16 and thedie pad 21 can be prevented by a simple process. - In the above-described manufacturing method of the
semiconductor device 10, the adhesive 33 is applied after adhering thedie pad 21 and thesemiconductor device 11; however, thedie pad 21 and thesemiconductor element 11 may be adhered after applying the adhesive 33 on thedie pad 21.

semiconductor device 10 of the first embodiment is obtained.

- However, the conductive adhesive contains a number of conductive particles in order to secure electrical conductivity. Therefore, the adhesive generally has a low adhesion force as compared with an insulation adhesive containing no conductive particles in many cases. Accordingly, in a semiconductor device constituted by connecting and mounting a semiconductor chip on a die pad using the conductive adhesive, when thermal stress is imposed on the semiconductor device or when the semiconductor device is placed under a high-humidity environment, peeling may occur in an interface between the conductive adhesive and the semiconductor chip, or in an interface between the conductive adhesive and the die pad. Particularly, when mounting a semiconductor device on a system board by reflow soldering, solder which contains no lead (Pb), such as tin (Sn)-silver (Ag) solder or tin-silver-copper (Cu) solder has been recently used at the request of environmental responsiveness. As a result, a temperature in mounting a semiconductor device more increases as compared with a case of mounting the device using conventional solder which contains lead, such as tin-lead solder. Therefore, a high reliability semiconductor device durable to this temperature is desired.

Theconcave parts 211 are formed also on a lower surface (a surface opposite to a surface having the concave parts 27) of thedie pad 21 f.
